Very proud to announce my participation in the 2021 Lavazza Calendar: The New Humanity. @LavazzaOfficial An art project that places man at its centre; a collective of artists in search of a rediscovered humanity. 13 masters of photography present a new vision of humanity that reflects their personal viewpoints and styles. They are #DavidLaChapelle #SimoneBramante #MartinSchoeller #AmiVitale #ChristyLeeRogers #SteveMcCurry #JoeyL #CarolynDrake #DenisRouvre #EugenioRecuenco #CharlieDavoli #MarthaCooper and #TOILETPAPER and six cultural “ambassadors” architect $CarloRatti, designer #StellaJean, writer #AlessandroBaricco, actress #KieraChaplin, singer- songwriter #PattiSmith, and Save the Children International CEO #IngerAshing The concept was sparked by the lockdown in spring 2020, when Lavazza decided to take a position and use its communication resources to speak out in favour of the universal values that are indispensable for the rebirth of humanity in a global scenario of serious adversity. “Everyday people can be transformed into angelic creatures with the slightest change of perspective, by using tools in new ways and allowing our mistakes to guide us toward new truths”.

Photo by @amivitale. Budapest, Hungary has long been renowned for its health spas and thermal springs. The ancient Roman settlement, Aquincum, located on the outskirts of Budapest is the site of the very first hot mineral water bath. It has been discovered that many of these springs are connected underground by a huge “thermal lake.” The ancient Roman settlement, Aquincum, located on the outskirts of Budapest is the site of the very first hot mineral water bath complex.

The Elephants just love him! #trunkupwines #Repost @r.e.s.c.u.e with @get_repost ・・・ Dave Matthews (@davematthewsband) is greeted by Nadasoit and a whole herd of elephants at Reteti Elephant Sanctuary (@r.e.s.c.u.e). He is smitten. Reteti Elephant Sanctuary, in northern Kenya is the first ever community-owned and run elephant sanctuary in Africa. The sanctuary provides a safe place for injured elephants to heal and later, be returned back to the wild. You can support this incredible place and the people who protect wildlife. Make a $10 contribution in support of Reteti for a chance to win a trip to Kenya, see Dave Matthews in concert and take home a @rockbridgeguitar that features a custom inlay of an elephant hand-drawn by Dave with @prizeo (Link in profile). Not only will you be helping care for orphaned baby elephants and strengthening community ties, you’ll also have a chance to win a life-changing trip to see the sanctuary in person. The first $10,000 in funds raised will be generously matched by Elephant Gems (@elephantgems). Reteti operates in partnership with Conservation International (@conservationorg) who provide critical operational support and work to scale the Reteti community-centered model to create lasting impacts worldwide.

How about some good news about declines on poaching to start the week?!🐘| Repost @amivitale | Photo by @amivitale. Thanks to tracker dogs like Rocky and Rosdaz, elephant poaching at the 35,000-acre Manyara Ranch has been greatly reduced. In 2014 and 2015, poachers killed 17 elephants inside the ranch. In 2016, this number fell to zero. So far, there have been none in 2017. “These days, not only does an elephant die naturally, its tusks are left intact. This would have never happened before.” says Fidelis Olekashe, a security expert and former member of the Tanzanian military who manages the ranch. See our story on the dogs leading the charge against poaching in Biographic Magazine (@biographic_magazine) and follow @honeyguide_tz and @singita_ to learn more about these important initiatives. #dogs #workingdogs #stoppoaching #conservation #africa #everydayafrica #photojournalism #amivitale @nikonusa #nikonusa #nikonlove #nikonnofilter #nikonambassador #nikond7500 #wildlifeconservation #wildlife #wildlifephotography #nature #endextinction #endangered #goodnews #hope #elephant #fieldwork #KeyConservation

Bébé Panda @worldpressphoto ・・・ Zhang Hemin—“Papa Panda” to his staff—poses with cubs born in 2015 at Bifengxia Panda Base managed by the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda in Sichuan Province, China. “Some local people say giant pandas have magic powers,” says Zhang, who directs many of China’s panda conservation efforts. “To me, they simply represent beauty and peace.⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I'm Ami Vitale (@amivitale) and this week I will share the incredible story of how China is saving it's most iconic mascot, the giant panda from the brink of extinction. This journey turned out to be one of the most unimaginable explorations I've ever had. In a region where bad environmental news is common, the giant panda might prove to be the exception and is a testament to the perseverance and efforts of Chinese scientists and conservationists. By breeding and releasing pandas, augmenting existing populations and protecting habitat, they are on their way to successfully saving their most famous ambassador and in the process put the wild back into an icon.
